AAC WORLDWIDE %u2022 2.2025 PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY 43cake. The empty frame is then returned to the buffer line, brushed clean, and reintroduced onto the buffer line where it waits for another cycle to begin.To maximize efficiency and maintain seamless production flow, two reinforcement manipulators were installed to facilitate the movement of reinforcement holding frames. With only a single manipulator, the system would require additional waiting time between tasks, potentially causing bottlenecks in key areas such as mixing and cutting. By incorporating a second manipulator, the workflow remains continuous, significantly improving the overall efficiency of the reinforcement process. Another key innovation introduced in this upgrade is the advanced wax bath system. Unlike previous designs, this new standalone unit allows the reinforcement holding frame to be independently processed, freeing up the manipulator to perform other tasks. Additionally, the bath features an inclination mechanism that slightly tilts the frame, allowing excess wax to drip off more efficiently, further optimizing the process.Beyond its immediate benefits, this reinforcement area has been strategically designed with future capacity expansion in mind. As Brimax continues to strengthen its market position, the plant layout ensures that scaling up production will require minimal additional modifications. This forward-thinking approach aligns with both Brimax%u2019s long-term vision and Aircrete commitment to providing future-proof, high-performance AAC manufacturing solutions.CuttingThe cutting line is the core of any Aircrete plant particularly for producing panels. Brimax is equipped with Aircrete%u2019s advanced flat-cake Super Smooth cutting line, which provides very high precision and versatility, as well as the hallmark very smooth product surface that requires no plastering during wall installation.When the green cake has risen, the mould automatically opens on all sides, allowing the grabbing Fig. 5: Reinforcement holding frames with needles, waiting for cleaning on the reinforcement buffer line.Fig. 6: Moulds with inserted reinforcement holding frames in the rising area.
